About this study

In plain language

This study tests a program that teaches mindfulness (ways to reduce stress) and gives information to adults with lung cancer and their family caregivers. It looks at whether the program is helpful, easy to take part in, and meets their needs. It also asks if the program helps them feel more ready for changes between cancer treatments.

Lung cancer patients often go through more than one type of treatment, such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. These treatments can lead to several transition periods, which may increase stress and leave some needs unmet for patients and their family caregivers. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a program that includes mindfulness (stress reduction) and education is helpful, acceptable, and practical for lung cancer patients and their family caregivers. We also want to learn if this program helps them feel better prepared during these transitions.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
